I like this bit especially:
Steemit is not a get rich quick place, it’s a slow burner. If you are here to make money fast, then you are in the wrong place. But with time and effort and not giving up, you will get there in the end. You are still an early adaptor of an experimental platform. The aim now is to engage with you to help you find the tools and communities you need to make it happen.
So glad to see more of a push for user retention. I agree that finding communities is key. @steemsugars, @thealliance, @thewritersblock, and so many others have helped me find my family here and stay inspired, as well as feel supported.
Also, the @welcomewagon is putting together bite-sized tutorials for newbies to Steemit. I mention this because there is so much to learn, it can sometimes take a month or three to feel comfortable here, but if users just learn a little bit more each day, it starts to come together.
Fantastic post, Paula. Thank you for what you do!
Hi @karina-ariel, you might also be interested in other communities like @asapers, @ifc, @friendsofgondor, @greetersguild, @newbiegames and @newbieresteemday too if you don't know about them already! I definitely like your real world interactions (and posts) with fellow Steemians - that's how we can keep the crypto-community real :D
never heard of @welcomewagon, sounds good. I have heard of and often visited the other 3 you mention. Nice share. Communities are key, but engaging on steemit is just as important
^^ Absolutely.
As for @welcomewagon, it's pretty new, but I think it's a great initiative that ties in with what you're talking about here. Engagement is vital, for sure!
